Front Panel Features

DISPLAY button. This button changes the time display option for the selected drive. The options available will depend on the drive’s current Status (e.g. STOP, PLAY, etc.). See page 22 for full details.

ID AUTO/MAN AUTO-CUE button. This button has two distinct functions, depending whether a disc is being recorded or not:

a)Auto/manual Track ID selection: Switches between automatic and manual track numbering when recording a disc. See page 13 for more information.

b)Auto-Cue mode selection: Allows selection of Auto-Cue and Auto-Pause modes when not recording. See page 46 for more information.

ID WRITE CUE button. This button also has two distinct functions, depending whether a disc is being recorded or not:

a)ID Write: Pressing this button during RECORD, when TRACK ID MANUAL mode has been selected with

[21] above, writes a track ID to the CD in the selected drive(s).

As an ID is written, ID Write illuminates briefly in the bottom left-hand corner of the display, and the track number in the time display increments by one.

b)Cue button: When the CDR-882 is not in RECORD mode, the button acts as a CUE button. Pressing CUE will immediately locate to a previously-stored MARK point (see page 13), entering PLAY mode at the cue point.

If AUTO-CUE or AUTO-PAUSE mode is active, or if the drive is already in PAUSE mode, the drive enters PAUSE at the cue point. When a MARK point is stored, drive number is included, thus CUE can be used to locate to a point on the other drive if wished. See page 46 for more information.

DISC COPY button. This selects the CDR-882’s DISC COPY function, which allows the user to make a copy of an existing CD, CD-R or CD-RW from one drive to the other at high-speed (with certain restrictions). A full description of the DISC COPY function can be found at page 41.

PROGRAM button. The PROGRAM function, activated by pressing PROGRAM, is used for two different purposes:

a)PROGRAM PLAY mode - permits tracks to be replayed in a non-sequential order

b)PROGRAM COPY mode - allows a copy to be made of a CD, but with individually selected tracks, sequenced in any order on the copy.

The PROGRAM functions are described in detail at page 44 (PROGRAM PLAY mode) and page 44 (PROGRAM COPY mode).

MODE button. This button is used to define the basic record/playback mode of the CDR-882 when both drives are in use. Pressing MODE repeatedly scrolls through the options; the display indicates the selected option. The options are (in sequence):

MODE	ACTION	DISPLAY
Single CD	Records or plays from one drive	Single CD1 or Single CD2
	only; select Drive 1 or 2 with
	DRIVE SELECT button
DualBurn	Records an external input on	DualBurn or	DualBurn
	both drives simultaneously	CD1	CD2
DiscSpan	Records to or plays from each	DiscSpan or	DiscSpan
	drive alternately (for as long as	CD1	CD2
	appropriate CDs are loaded)

The various twin-disc modes are described in more detail in section page 39.

FINALIZE button. Press to manually start disc finalisation (to make the CD playable in a standard audio CD player). Auto finalisation is set via the menu system, see page 34.

ERASE button. Press to erase the whole disc, a range of tracks or to carry out a full initialisation of the disc. It is also possible to do a full erase or initialisation of discs in both drives simultaneously. Applicable to CD-RW discs only

Press the ENTER button [14] to start the process.

See section page 47 for more information about erasing discs.

DRIVE SELECT button. This button is used to select which drive is currently being controlled by the CDR-882’s main transport buttons and other front panel controls.

The “active” drive is indicated by inverse video in the main display area. Additional indication is provided in the top right-hand corner of the display by CD1 or CD2, and the blue Drive Select LEDs (34).

PHONES SELECT button. This button selects which drive is to be the source for the headphone monitor output [32]. Pressing the button scrolls between the three available options, which are: Drive 1, Drive 2, or a mix of audio from both Drive 1 and Drive 2. In the case of the last option, the precise nature of the mix heard is determined by the Phones Mix settings in the Audio sub-menu. See page 30 for further details.

The two green LEDs immediately above the button indicate the option selected.
